Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome of this study will be to compare the analgesic efficacy of nebulised dexmedetomidine and clonidine in relieving post -operative sore throat.Timepoint: During the post -operative period, sore throat will be evaluated 10 minutes,1,6,12, and 24hour after extubation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcome of this study will be to compare the effect of nebulised dexmedetomidine and clonidine on the hemodynamic parameters at the defined time point.Timepoint: Blood pressure (SBP, DBP, MAP), heart rate, spo2 will be recorded at induction, at laryngoscopy, at intubation, 1minute ,5 minute after intubation and after creation of pneumoperitoneum. Blood pressure (SBP, DBP, MAP), heart rate, spo2will also be recorded just after extubation and 1,6,12,24 hours after extubation
